One kind of famous Chinese Food you cannot miss in Yuen Long at night time. Foods such as Braised Duck, Cold crab Oyster omelette and Steamed fish are well known dishes that you must try. The Chiu Chow (Teochow)flavours originated around the Swatow district of eastern Guangdong province and are now among the most popular in Hong Kong. Chiuchow cuisine is known for serving rice soup, in addition to steamed rice with meals, which is quite different from Cantonese porridge or congee which is very thick and gluey. The Chiuchow rice soup is very watery with the rice sitting loosely at the bottom of the bowl. Teochew cuisine is one of the few regional Chinese that makes use of fish sauce due to Chaoshan's coastal land. As an ingredient, peanuts are a relatively prominent feature in this cuisine; used both in savory dishes and desserts. They can be boiled, fried, roasted, crushed, grounded or turned into a paste. Peanuts can be used as a garnish or feature in soups, amongst others.
